Great metaphor! Also I really liked that you provided resources to learn more about each type, I’ll probably check out story genius soon!

Thanks Kaily! Glad that my article came out at a good time for you!

Story Genius is a great read, but now I'm realizing it's best for planning a book from the start. Since you're doing revisions, you might want to read a different resource before that one (but it's still a fav). Revising Your Novel by Janice Harding, or Intuitive Editing by Tiffany Yates Harding would be great for you! I'll add them to the article as well
